Finding real value in today’s Aquidneck Island market is getting harder and harder. Right now, there are only 14 single family homes on the entire island priced under $700,000. When you factor in size, condition, location, and potential, 11 Barton Lane stands out as, in my opinion, the best value for your dollar.
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just off Oliphant Lane, this spacious raised ranch offers a bright and comfortable layout in a peaceful neighborhood setting in central Middletown. The home offers a bright, practical layout with excellent natural light. A large bay window highlights the living room, and well-placed windows in the kitchen and dining area create an open, comfortable feel.
The dining room opens directly to a large rear deck, creating an easy flow for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing and enjoying the privacy of the half-acre lot. Hardwood floors run throughout the upper main level and while the property could benefit from some minor improvements, nothing is imperative right away.
One of the biggest advantages of this property is its size. With a recently finished lower level, the home offers more than 2,400 square feet of total living space, including four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. For buyers looking for room to spread out, work from home, or accommodate guests and family, this layout provides tremendous flexibility.
Built in 1972 and lovingly cared for by only two owners in its lifetime, the home is now being offered as part of an estate sale and is being sold in as-is condition. That presents a great opportunity for the next owner to make updates over time while building instant equity. Investments in the kitchen, bathroom, and a fresh coast of paint would go a long way in terms of adding value to the home.
Another standout feature is the oversized detached two-car garage, a rare and valuable amenity in this price range. The garage is heated and includes its own dedicated electric subpanel, making it far more than just a place to park. For car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or contractors, it is the perfect year-round workspace. For investors and forward-thinking buyers, the garage also offers the exciting potential to be converted into an Accessory Dwelling Unit, adding even more long-term value to the property.
Between the generous living space, the large private lot, the unique garage setup, and the great location, 11 Barton Lane checks boxes that are difficult to find at this price point. In a market where inventory under $700,000 is extremely limited, this home represents a true opportunity for both owner occupants and investors alike.
